Lets just start by saying that I'm not a FI fan, but I have to take my hat off to Adrian's drive.
However, from a sporting point of view - what was annoying was the fact that for every lap he was leading the GP (both times), that the camera focused on RB, Ferrari & Lotus.

Now I might be reading into this a little too much, but it's not the 1st time the Bernie's blocked a team's TV presence over a weekend - whats going on - this was probably one of the only times this season they could cash in on their position & they were invisable...

Interested to know others thoughts...

I saw a ton of him, he was on screen about as much as Vettel after they realized that Vettel had no real hope of a win.

Yeah Sutil had loads of screen time, and the commentators were following him very closely through out the race.

Maybe it was the Australian feed I was watching?

Could also be that their cars don't stand out much? :p

I always thought that the focus was duly on the guys really fighting for the win. Force India got more than their money's worth for a strategy-car combo worth 7th-8th place.

Yeah I saw plenty of him. I thought it was Marussia that were supposed to be ignored?

Agreed.
Saw plenty of both teams.
